Cannot set root password

I just installed "Don't Panic". The install seemed to go OK, but when I attempt to set the root password I get the message

passwd: Authentication token lock busy

I would appreciate information on how to do this.

Re: Cannot set root password

Try to chroot into your install from a live cd and run passwd root.

Re: Cannot set root password

Problem resolved. It must have been a glitch in the original install as a reinstall solved problem.
